Christchurch and Queenstown Trip (25/12/12-2/1/13) – Part 9

The view is rather nice but I’m sure it was nicer before the earthquake.

I’m always amazed by houses built like this. Very unique.

We didn’t stay long there, we wanted to catch the next bus a.s.a.p to go back as the bus ticket is only valid for 2 hours else we have to buy another ticket. Can’t remember how much was the ticket costs. No matter how far you go, the ticket costs the same.

Left: Back to the city and spotted this double decker not far from our accommodation. It’s for city tour which of course you have to pay for it.

At night, we went out for new year countdown. It was so cold! I posted the video previously, will post it again here. The fact is this is the first time I welcome a new year outside of a building, in a public event, and with a friend *LOL* As all these while I just stay home or few years back was in the hotel room sleeping while last year I was in the aiport toilet!
